THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EX-SITU CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Research on the relationship between ex-situ conservation and sustainable development is fundamental because it will help the business world better understand how to utilise it from an ecological, economic, and social perspective. This study seeks to investigate the significance of the correlation between ex-situ conservation and sustainable development through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature utilising the Scopus database. This study systematically searched for the keywords “ex-situ conservation” and “sustainable development” throughout academic publications published in journals from 2000 to 2023. Furthermore, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and citation mapping process was conducted, considering all pertinent factors. VOSviewer is a tool utilised for doing collaborative analysis of keyword writing, collaborative analysis of citation networks, and generating bibliometric maps to represent the scientific mapping of results and findings visually. Bibliometric analysis is a technique employed to assess the performance of a journal. This study utilises bibliometric analysis to uncover contributions, deficiencies, and limitations in four areas: sustainable development, ex-situ conservation, biodiversity, and climate change. The novelty of this work is crucial to highlight, as it explores a previously unexplored issue with a creative methodology.
